Copied from my previous message [0]: ------ I don't know if there is a design choice here, but the steps required to authorize substitutes for Guix on another distro require root. So, we can't make it "just work" without the user elevating their privileges. It's not the only part of our installation guide that requires root, however. On GuixSD, we can control the entire system during installation, so we enable substitutes by default. ------ [0] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2017-11/msg00048.html --bg08WKrSYDhXBjb5 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCAAdFiEEsFFZSPHn08G5gDigJkb6MLrKfwgFAloIrh8ACgkQJkb6MLrK fwgFMhAAmUHQ2tm8M3rN3wNK70K23xIu+lD8GK3QuIEQgtVavIxNOJZ0Eo/b2oNM Kbbzc2H/B20/pz+fqKZw/IJ1Bd6mDHxUUMZq+N2EaW2balPRK5Fe1hIUEzaTKTGd 0xEdhpiBDlAZlif8YpS210StUgx/XnEL6jOd1Xq2Iz/Lr+x9RSz4ImDduGPJwjfh z6KYTf0jFvIOML1GOHhR/bKIaCOphxfbAU2PxMJI3PLltIRVwo06b7yW/LPvsGmG k74yabN6RX6G+7SPRn51YeZKwH+ttkOZZDisEB/FtHfbhcC1xA6fidLohbnHRosk dPl/sMOkTJ3sVZAO5iO9ggNFiNXaR9fl7EQv7ygC2xPEV2zhm5RvFKdtnDy/Wx3W NtYpX1LmcvmyUEbBFLfZXA6wjKe/yTqa5NAs8t8MzDNdyXorx2gvQ7QqCm4gzIdU jHSiuVinsyQoj/L/OaSxqYFe34+ogYfYSASpZNzVxyRAx9rWlvGIbO1rrCU+cIgb 7XFgs2MsEbZuZb7SMtejK4I1Pi5MhokxdP12uLiyC/QTZvP5950yghFrJP2xY9Xq PZbgyDEPf+9NPiZOw1FDTyXEV1dnFtJWd1LCfqUJLIYQDuHSxP0yp5NKfc1iv/a/ FSs1HKhp5xczzQa9q9JiC78gHXQ3AFnEhkSPxo1T19ccy/KnqwQ= =gN6h -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --bg08WKrSYDhXBjb5--
